MINIPLAST’s Post

Transcript

It is now very important for all of us to find a way of ending single use plastics and we can think of moving totally from linear economy to circular economy. That way we can reduce plastic pollution. We generate a million metric tons of plastic waste every year in Ghana and we're only able to recycle 9% of it. There is so much room for growth. We are a plastic manufacturing company, but now we have changed that into calling it a plastic recycling and manufacturing company. It is a very good thing to do. It is necessary for the environment, but it only viable in Africa because it's economically viable. Nor funds investment that they need last allowed us to improve. On our production, on the quality of our recycled plastics and on the mix of recycled plastics versus virgin products, we increased our workforce by around 30%. But we believe also it was going to affect regionally on the trend of how to use plastics. I environments is being protected by having clean energy and then we are also providing income for all these people along the plastic value chain. I don't just get to advance my career, I also get to protect my environment, so I'm very passionate about this work.
